    In the grand tradition of the blockbusting parody Bored of the Ring, comes this uproarious literary spoof of Tolkien's other (much shorter) masterwork, The Hobbit. It has already sold 80,000 copies in hardcover--and is still going strong.Tolkien was never this funny--and that's why we need this delicious parody. It follows the adventures of Bingo "Sac" Grabbings, a rather unremarkable Soddit of Upper Middle Earth... more

    So The Lord of the Rings swept the Oscars--all the more reason to continue to tweak, spoof, and lampoon the cult of Tolkien. Despite its title, Sellamillion isn't a satire of The Silmarillion; how could it be? Though every one of the author's fans has a copy on the shelf, on the shelf is where it's stayed; almost no one actually managed to read past page three.

    A quest, a war, a ring that would be grounds for calling any wedding off, a king without a kingdom, and a little, furry "hero" named Frito, ready—or maybe just forced by the wizard of Goodgulf—to undertake the one mission which can save Lower Middle Earth from enslavement by the evil Sorhed .. more

    The Harvard Lampoon's original masterpiece (hem hem) BORED OF THE RINGS now joined together with A.R.R.R. Roberts' equally 'hem hem' worthy THE SODDIT and THE SELLAMILLION. From Wee to the Minty Mountains, from Goddam to Sollum, from Goodgulf to Gandef, two unique comic visions of a masterpiece of 20th century fantasy come together, all for less than 20... more
